Great place to stay! Home had lots of amenities, host was communicative and location great. It’s within walking distance from Publix shopping center, great seafood restaurant too. Liked that there was the dock/lift to use for our 27’ boat, board games, kitchen had everything you could think of expect French press. Would stay there again.
We had a wonderful time, saw a manatee and her baby one morning at the boat dock. Great location close to a public beach.

We are happy to hear your stay at My Happy Place was wonderful! Thank you for the notes made about the beautiful views and location. We are looking forward to hosting you again soon!
This house was everything and more! The location was perfect and the pool was an added touch. Everything that you could think of, the house had. There was not one imperfection. I would stay here again for sure! Watching the manatee's in the morning while sipping coffee, or taking an evening swim after a long day, was the best way to start or end the day. You will not be disappointed staying here! The host was very responsive and quick in answering any questions!

We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at My Happy Place! Thank you for your kind words about the beautiful home, well-stocked amenities, and spectacular pool. We are thrilled to hear the pool was the highlight of your vacation and that you had everything you needed, from the beach towels to the beach chairs. We hope you also enjoyed the wonderful location on Florida's beautiful Space Coast. We would love to have you back again soon!
My family and I (4 adults and 2 children) stayed at My Happy Place for a week. We all had a wonderful time. The home had everything we needed. It was close to several beaches and lots of restaurants and of course Ron Jon surf shop which we visited a few times. Also spent a day at Kennedy Space Center which is about a 30 minute drive. We used the pool everyday. It is a water front property so it’s very relaxing and peaceful by the pool. Home was clean and well organized. We hope to visit again. Highly recommended!
